They allow teachers to bully children. The was they run that school is like they preparing them for prison . Like really why follow minor children into the bathroom! Why do you think it’s ok to put hands on kids. Some of your teachers don’t even have their own classrooms ! That school is so pack it’s ridiculous get off your high house and build a second school already! Do better!!

My kids hate this school so much and that pains me as a parent. Talking to the school is useless. My kids are not a-typical kids, so I guess that makes them free game for bullying. I have witnessed a staff member purposefully try to emotionally hurt one of my children in my presence. I went here too and it’s sad to know it’s the same unacceptable behavior from staff, what would you expect from the students?

It was alright. The students are the real issue, make teachers not want to do their job. Many teachers are just lazy or right out of college.

This is a great school system. There are many opportunities for the children both educational and extra curricular. My kids both perform above average on standardized tests thanks to these schools. To all those negative reviews (one stars): School are exactly what you put into them. If your kids aren't pushed at home to do well, then they won't. That's not the schools problem. Also, if you are moving your child from a small town school 'A', then chances are they will be behind. After moving my children here there was a lot of catching up to do (again, not this schools fault). Take that into consideration and give your child a chance to get used to it before complaining about the school and taking your frustrations out on the internet.

My brother and I grew up in Yukon schools and loved it. I was in the last graduating class at the old building, so I don't have an opinion on the new building. But in my case, going to YHS was amazing. Generally, the teacher quality is superb. There was a definite divide between the harsher teachers and the calmer, friendlier ones and in the end I think it was a good balance. Personalities aside, the teaching methods at Yukon have helped me so much in college, and I appreciate it even more now that I'm about to graduate from university. I had a great experience as a student there because my other classmates were great. It was very easy to "mesh" with everyone, and I have to note that it was especially prevalent with new students. We are a very welcoming charm about us. Yes, there is a party scene but it's certainly pretty easy to avoid it if you want to. All in all, I'm shocked at how great YHS is considering Yukon as a town isn't all that great. Great staff, great students. I'm really thankful to have gone here.

My children started at this school this year I am not pleased with what is going on. I moved my children to this district after i thought the last one was bad i was wrong. They may have nice things but I was wrong they do not truly care for their students its what they can get to make them selves look good. To me places that are more into their look are not in it for their students they are for the money that they can get out of people.

I have had one daughter go through and graduate from Yukon High in 2012 and love this school. I have a second daughter who is a Junior this year and is excited about graduating from Yukon. The teachers, principals and staff are wonderful. The new high school is phenominal. It looks like a junior college instead of a high school and they aren't finished yet. They still have a ball field and swimming pool to add. I feel any child would be lucky to attend Yukon High.

As a junior, I have gone to school in Yukon since kindergarten and I really enjoy it. We got a new high school this year (which is way to extravagant) and its really nice. As for the "drug" problem, there are drugs but people don't go around selling drugs to people, and not everyone does drugs, you just have to pick the right crowd to hang out with. And all schools have drugs and alcohol. Every single one of my teachers I have enjoyed, they all really care about the students and will help you succeed. I also noticed that most of the negative reviews on here come from parents who don't go to the school so they have no idea what its like, and the students seem to enjoy it. As for the policies, they go through the entire handbook at the beginning of the year so students know what's expected. At the beginning of my Freshman year I was surprised to find that Freshman really weren't bullied, you always hear horror story about kids getting picked on and you don't see it happen. I would reccomend this school to anyone and plan on sending my kids there when I get older. It really is a great school, and if you are skeptical about sending your kids there make them take Leadership with Mr. A!
